General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European law which came into effect on the 25th May 2018

All schools handle a large amount of personal data. This includes information on pupils, such as grades, medical information, images and much more including data on staff, governors, volunteers and job applicants.


What is personal data?
This data is already governed by existing DPA (Data Protection Act) regulations, which ensure personal data is handled lawfully. However, the new GDPR has gone further and requires organisations (including schools) to document how and why they process all personal data.


What is GDPR exactly?
The GDPR is Europe’s new framework for data protection laws – it replaces the previous 1995 data protection directive, which current UK law is based upon. The EU’s GDPR website says the legislation is designed to “harmonise” data privacy laws across Europe as well as give greater protection to individuals.
